Why do male testicles shrink? The testicles are an important reproductive organ in men, so it should be taken seriously when men experience testicular atrophy disease, as testicular atrophy has a great impact on men's lives and health, and also brings serious harm to male fertility. So, why do male testicles shrink?
Experts say that the main reasons for testicular atrophy in men are as follows:
1. Inflammation: Severe orchitis, with swelling and pain in the testicles during onset, which can last for several days. Due to bacterial invasion, testicular tissue is damaged, leading to testicular tissue atrophy.
2. Drug effects: Long term use of certain toxic drugs, such as arsenic, or repeated use of estrogen drugs that fight against androgens, such as stilbene, can cause testicular atrophy.
3. Impact of radioactive substances: Those who have been exposed to radioactive substances for a long time, such as those engaged in X-ray, isotope, and other professions, without proper protection, can cause testicular atrophy.
4. Virus infection: virus infection is the most common cause of testicular atrophy in children and adolescents, especially mumps virus, commonly known as "mumps" disease. When the testicles are attacked by this virus, the spermatogenic tissue inside the testicles will be damaged, resulting in a reduction in testicular volume and a softening of the texture.
Why do male testicles shrink? Testicular atrophy can affect the normal life of adult males, have extremely adverse effects on their fertility, and may even lead to male infertility. So if men have testicular atrophy, they must take it seriously and seek medical attention from a regular hospital as soon as possible.
